Eh...post #695?
Yes sir, I read that, but your aircraft did not go out of control at FL-350 and we were not able to recover until around 12,000 feet when we were tossed out of the side of the thunderstorm into VMC and we were in severe turbulence. I think I still have bumps on the top of my head from hitting the overhead panel.

You would be surprised how much crap comes up from the floor of the cockpit that will end up on the overhead. I have no idea if we were ever inverted, but if not we pulled some zero Gs to have all that crap come up.

However, well done on your part, excellent flying!
